When it comes to roaming the skies, a microlight flight is as exhilarating as it gets. Climb into a dual-controlled flex wing microlight with a CAA approved instructor and prepare for a special flying thrill. Soar through the sky in an open cockpit and feel the wind on your face as glorious views of rural Northamptonshire unfold beneath the aircraft (a P and M Quantum or GT450). This unforgettable flying experience kicks off with a full briefing and some on the ground instruction too before the flight. Once in the air, there's even a chance to take control of the craft and feel what it's like to be a real life microlight pilot. Whether training for a National Private Pilot Licence, or simply looking for adventure, this experience is a must try!
